As far as I was aware its a national thing
The neighbours behind have done it and travelled to Barcelona from Gandia free

Re: Driving in Spain

Cheeky bugger. lol

I need two, one for her indoors, otherwise she will have to cycle and I will meet her .

Re: Driving in Spain
 

Friend of mine was recently driving along a 2 way road, she indicated to turn left, waited for the oncoming traffic to clear, then started to turn left and then someone from behind overtook her and hit her car. Her insurance co. L.....D..... say that it is her fault and that it is spanish law to wait for all of the traffic behind her to go past before she can turn!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard of this before is it a new rule or does L D not know what they are talking about.:eek:

Re: Driving in Spain
 

That sounds like a pretty strange law if it's correct!!!
I'd certainly be consulting a solicitor for clarification
Also depends on what the lineage waas on the road, and was she indicating?

Re: Driving in Spain
 

They don`t like people turning left here, we have a lot of juntions that go off to the right, then you turn left when the lights change. lol

Re: Driving in Spain
 

Im glad to hear that its only £6 from Oliva to Valencia return as im hiring a car for a month when i come over, rather than drive down from calais again, i worked out with the stop over in hotels, fuel, tolls and boat it was cheaper to fly to valencia and hire a car, so i was planning driving back into valencia for a day out - much better to go by train then - where is the station, please, Gandia? And to save time wandering aimlessly, would be grateful to hear what people recommend for the best/most interesting things to see/do?

Re: Driving in Spain
 

"La ciudad de las artes y las ciencias" is really good.

Or you could just wander through the streets starting at the ayuntamiento.

An experience in itself with all that you come across.

Barrio del carmen is popular with its bars etc and the buildings are so old.

Or the beach at Malvarrosa.

The list is endless.

I love the place.:D

Re: Driving in Spain
 

Yes you need Gandia train station
Valencia from our last trips HERE Click on the first one and then hit (S)lideshow

Well, the train station itself is lovely, then on the right is the bull ring
Go to the right and into the pedestrian area past the metro and you can walk up through the city to the Churches and the squares and explore the old town
Make sure you visit the food market as the building is really nice
Walk down through the river bed to the science park

Re: Driving in Spain
 

thank you, i have made a note of all these places and things to take with us..................:)

Re: Driving in Spain
 

Great photos of all these places - think we will have to come for 6 months...................:thumbup:

Re: Driving in Spain
 

She was indicating and there was no lineage to say that you cannot turn left.
She is seeing a solicitor and a friend of hers who works in traffico say that L..D are talking rubbish.

Re: Driving in Spain
 

It wasn't one of those junctions where you turn off right then cross the road, this was a normal road in the outskirts of Chiclana. I always thought that your insurance company was supposed to be on your side but seemingly L..D.. just want to recoup as much as they can by calling it knock for knock

Re: Driving in Spain
 

I know that, just saying they don`t like people turning left, the cops make a fortune fining people 80€`s for turning left into Tivoli World. They are supposed to go down to the roundabout and then up and turn right into the complex.
